From left, District 1 Assembly candidates Ruth Danner and Stephanie Madsen address a question from homeless National Guard veteran Ric Willard, of Angoon, during a lunch forum at the Glory Hole. Homeless since February, Willard has lived on the streets in Bellingham, Wash., Sitka and Juneau. "I help every homeless person I meet," Willard said. "I tell them I will do all I can todeligate for them, to get them help and bring them T-shirts and socks and tell them where to go for food and where to sleep."
